I would say it makes quite a difference in higher grades. For example, a 9.4 book otherwise could drop a couple points (down to 9.0)

If the books are in the Fine range or lower, it is unlikely this flaw would hurt the grade. Depending on the book and the grade it could hit, I would definitely consider pressing these books because for some, the value difference between 9.0-9.2 and 9.6+ is huge

Hi Comicginger1789, 

Do you think the $12 pressing service that CGC offers would get a non-color breaking indention like this pressed out? 

Thank you again,

I have a large collection I purchased back in 2001 that I have started re-selling on Ebay. When taking pictures under lights I noticed that most of them have imperceptible writing on the back cover. The original owner wrote the price on a sticker while the comic was bagged but NOT boarded. Which the depression of the pen left a small indentation of that price on the back cover.  When you look straight on you don't even notice (which I didn't at the time unfortunately), but when you shine a light and place comic at an angle you can see the price/writing.

I was wondering how much this would reduce the grade (assuming the rest of the comic was near mint 9.2 to 9.6 range). What would I need to reduce the grade in everyone's opinion?

Thank you for your advice.

Paul
